The 2022 NJLibsGrowBiz Summit will be held virtually on September 15, 2022 from 10am-2pm.
This mini-conference is focused on the value libraries bring to the small business owners and entrepreneurs in their communities. We will be paying particular focus to how entrepreneurship can change lives, empower people, and revitalize neighborhoods. Speakers will provide insight on the role libraries can play in economic development and share creative ways libraries can start or grow their business outreach and services.
This year’s keynote will be Samira Cook Gaines, Managing Director of Strategic Partnerships at Rising Tide Capital, a nonprofit dedicated to fostering inclusive communities of resilient entrepreneurs catalyzing a thriving and sustainable economy for all. Other speakers will include representatives from ALA’s Libraries Build Business initiative, SCORE, and the New Jersey Business Action Center.
